r Commitment as founding member of the Commercial Vehicle Cluster Rhineland-
Palatinate
Germany is the foremost producer of commercial
vehicles in Europe. Particularly in the southwest
of the country there is a concentration of manufacturing
plants and suppliers for this important
market segment for KIRCHHOFF Automotive. For
this reason we decided to join the Commercial
Vehicle Cluster Rhineland-Palatinate as associate
and member of the Supervisory Board.
The aim of the network’s activity is to take a
leading position in Europe’s commercial vehicle
industry and combine the economic dynamics of
the commercial vehicle industry with the region in
the eyes of the public.
Cooperation within the cluster will help the companies
concerned to improve competitiveness
through their ability to develop new products and
processes more quickly, raise both productivity and
quality and attract qualified personnel. The cluster

helps its affiliated companies to form a network,
exchange information and position themselves
both regionally and globally. Improved access to
information, a better response from policy-makers
and more efficient, cooperative partners in the
fields of business and science are of strategic
significance to the region, both for the companies
themselves and for their partners in science and
politics.
In this regard, Hendrik Hering, Minister of Economics,
Roads, Agriculture and Winegrowing, asserts:
“In Rhineland-Palatinate we were right in hoping
for a particularly great advantage from promoting
clusters for small and medium-sized companies and
their suppliers. We want to benefit from this business
expertise to become a point of crystallization
for the commercial vehicle industry and its suppliers
in the southwest of Germany.”
